that is a great bike to put a kit on, my crf 450 acts like a 503 snowhawk,in the deep and like a 600 on hardpacked, but alot lighter to pick up and more nimble through the tight stuff, they do very well in deep powder because the power to wieght ratio, they have great flotation. as far as getting one, yes get your order in asap, it only takes a $300 deposit and you will have one for sure, but there is only a few extra ones being made over the prebooking period, there is possible your dealer closest to you will have one, but if not i can set you up with what you need. also if you get your order in this month i can get it shipped to you for free. if your worried about keeping up to your friends on sleds, do not worry at ALL!! your 500 will keep you leader of the pack for sure, no sled can hang through any kind of trail system, they will pass you in a field, but most of us are not riding in fields 100% of the time. give me a call if you have further questions
